The game went on, with the Spurs dominating the interior and the Trail Blazers dominating the perimeter.

And the outside advantage of the Trail Blazers is greater than that of the Spurs, so in this case, the Trail Blazers are naturally gradually taking the lead in the score.

On the Trailblazers' side, the main thing is that Kobe Bryant's point is completely opened, and in the case of the little general, the advantage is too great, and the opening few shots are all boar-style hard chisels, chiseled to the free throw line, if the Spurs twin towers come forward to make up for the defense, then Kobe Bryant will divide the ball, either to the inside line, or to the outside line of the gunners.

In this way, Kobe Bryant played an extremely important role on the court, which is equivalent to the role of the central axis on the court.

The more Popovich looks at it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, the Trail Blazers, the point guard with an official height of 198, is really too incomprehensible in the face of the little general!

By the time seven minutes were played in the first quarter, although the Spurs had a big advantage inside, they were still five points behind because of Kobe's excellent performance of 4 shots and 4 assists in 5 shots.

"Doot toot!" Popovich took advantage of the dead ball and called a timeout.

He knows very well that he can't just continue to play like this, and if the Spurs don't make some changes in the backcourt, I'm afraid they will be blown up by Kobe Bryant alone.

In desperation, Popovich replaced the junior general from the court and replaced it with small forward Chuck Boson, and let Gallen Jackson, the original swingman on the court, defend Kobe.

But such a lineup arrangement, without the passing and control ability of the little general, the Spurs Twin Towers have a lot fewer opportunities to receive the ball inside!

Although it limited Kobe's play, it also allowed the Spurs to reduce their offensive advantage on the inside.

Headache!

Popovich had an incomparably headache, and he looked at the martial saint Jackson in the Trail Blazers lineup with envy, and sighed secretly in his heart.

It would be nice if the Spurs had a martial saint Jackson in their roster......

Jackson has the ability to pass and control, although he is not as good as the little general, but it is enough, and he is better than Kobe Bryant in addition to his body, and his speed is not slow, so it is perfect for defending Kobe!

The most important thing is that there will be no ball-free situation on the Spurs inside!

……

The regular season isn't over yet, and Popovich isn't sure if the Spurs will meet the Trail Blazers in the playoffs.

If they do meet in the playoffs, it will definitely not be good news for the Spurs......

Even if he goes to play against the Lakers, Popovich doesn't want to face such a Trail Blazers.

Their lineup is too inexplicable, there are basically no shortcomings in the five positions, and there are a large number of available big players on the bench, which is quite difficult......

Especially Kobe Bryant, Popovich is a little powerless to parry, because the Spurs can't find a tall point guard who can let Kobe go.

It's not enough to let the little general and his teammates change guards, and let the little general go to defend against Rashid or Robinson, right?

That would probably be even worse......

If there is a martial saint Jackson, then the Spurs' problem will be solved, and the Trail Blazers will not be so difficult.

Speaking of which, in fact, the place where Martial Saint Jackson rose was in San Antonio, that is, in the Spurs......

He was a regular player for the Spurs for a while, helping them win championships, when Parker was just emerging and Ginobili was still a pawn on the bench.

Wu Sheng can be said to be the three-leading figure of the championship-winning Spurs, except for Duncan and Parker, no one on the team has better data than him, and Popovich also has a very high evaluation of him.

Now Popovich has fallen in love with the martial saint Jackson at a glance, which is also extremely normal.

Now in Richard's hands, there are five common backcourts, namely Robinson, Kobe, Bowen, Martial Saint and Curry Sr.

These five people have an advantage in the backcourt, even the shortest old Curry has a height of 193......

And these five people have their own characteristics, Kobe and Wusheng are both all-round routes, able to attack and defend and organize, Bowen is the defensive line, Old Curry is mainly responsible for chasing points with cold arrows, and Robinson is the main offensive point on the court.

It's hard for the opponent to target the Trail Blazers' backcourt, because no team in the entire league can find such a terrifying backcourt.

Not to mention a biased team like Spurs, which is strong on the inside and weak on the outside......

……

By the end of the game, the Spurs had lost by fifteen points.

This point difference makes San Antonio fans a little difficult to accept, and the fifteen-point difference can already be said to have been hanged.

Richard was a little embarrassed, in fact, there were two people in his backcourt team who were digging the "corners" of the Spurs, Bowen and Wusheng, both of whom Popovich looked down on in the future, and they were the first to be ......

After winning this game, the four matchups between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs this season are 2-2, and if the first game is not counted, the Trail Blazers have the advantage.

Richard takes the Spurs seriously, which is something that all Trail Blazers players can perceive, and now that they have won the Spurs comfortably, the crowd is smiling.

Only Richard is still calm, because he knows very well that the current victory over the Spurs is actually nothing, and now is not the peak of the Spurs after all.

He poached the important players of the Spurs in the future, but maybe Popovich found two more good players from other corners, which is not difficult for Popovich at all.

Suffice it to say, the Spurs have Popovich and Duncan, so they will always be Richard's biggest rivals.

On the contrary, the Lakers who are in a better situation now, Richard doesn't feel too much pressure, Kobe Bryant has been poached by himself, and the Lakers don't know what the future will be, anyway, don't think about it for three consecutive championships......

Without Kobe, if O'Neal can win three consecutive championships, it won't be without a championship at hand until now.

Maybe after some operation, the Lakers will give O'Neal a better lineup and give them the strength to compete for the championship, but three consecutive championships will definitely be no fun.

……

"Coach, how did I play today?!" After Kobe Bryant got off the court, he asked Richard with excitement on his face.

Richard nodded, "Okay......"

Zhang Weiping couldn't help laughing out loud on the side, "Okay! It's not just good, it's just God's performance! ”

What Richard said is okay, that is definitely a bit of a belittling performance of Kobe Bryant in today's game!

Kobe Bryant shot 10 of 14 two-pointers, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and 15 shots in exchange for 26 points.

In the face of Zhang Weiping's praise, Kobe Bryant laughed very immodestly, since the All-Star Game, his on-court performance has been quite good, even if he does not occupy so many shots, he can get a good score.
